We highly recommend taking the below steps to ensure you protect yourself and secure your personal data, not only on our platform but also on other online accounts you have:
Keep passwords long and random: Using a password management tool like 1Password makes this process easier because then you only need to remember the password to your password management tool. We recommend 1Password—we use it ourselves at Yieldstreet.
Use Two Factor Authentication as an added layer of security: We recommend enabling 2FA on every online account you have. At Yieldstreet, we provide two factor authentication via Authy.
Use an ad-blocker: Ad-blocker extensions like uBlock , AdBlock Plus or AdGuard maintain lists that block ads that are known to be malicious.
